Players have different routines before competing in games. From taking naps and listening to music to eating the same meal and doing a shooting routine, players get their minds straight and focus on task at hand using their respective routines. For Boston Celtics swingman Jaylen Brown, he recently found a unique way to alleviate himself from pre-game jitters.

Inspired by the mental app Lucid, the 20-year-old California product decided to come up with his own rap song, that he also produced, which he listens to keep him relaxed and relieve him with the pressure he feels right before a game starts, according to Sport Techie.

“Brown had tested a bevy of other methods in the past in an attempt to alleviate his pregame jitters, but this time, the stage — the biggest of his career — necessitated an imaginative answer.”

“He finally settled on an unorthodox solution — to create a three-minute, 31-second rap song that he rapped, produced and composed himself, one that would boost his self-esteem and get him past the urge to vomit before games in nervousness. Brown listened to the song, entitled Building Blocks, several times before all five games of a playoff series in which he held his own against James defensively.”

Brown is coming off a decent rookie campaign where he became a fixture of the Celtics rotation. He appeared in 78 games for them, including 20 starts, and averaged solid numbers at 6.6 points and 2.8 rebounds in 17.2 minutes per game. Now without Avery Bradley on the team, he is expected to receive more playing time, especially with his ability to play shooting guard as well.

His pre-game routing may not be anything special, but one thing certain is that the Beantown faithful certainly doesn’t mind it as long as it keeps him locked in before games, and allows him to play better for the team. If he can build on the solid start he had to his professional career, it will be a huge boost to the C’s, who are looking to have an even deeper postseason run next year.
